The scope of work shall also include all work incidentals for successful
operation and commissioning and handing over of works whether specifically

mentioned or not. In general, works are to be carried out by the Contractor in
accordance with the stipulations in Conditions of Contract.
1.4 The following items of work are specifically excluded from the Contractors
scope of work unless otherwise specifically brought out.
a) Sub-station site selection
b) Land acquisition for sub-station
1.5 The Chapter E10-1 (NBLS tower and Erection) is not applicable for this
tender. However, the erection practices mention in this chapter shall be
followed for PC+6 tower and UR+6 tower.

1. 0 GENERAL PARTICULARS OF SYSTEM
1.1 Substation Philosophy:
1.1.1. There will be two types of Substations.
i. GIS Indoor Substation (Package-5): 33kV side will be with GIS Indoor
Switch gear Panel and 11kV side will be with AIS Indoor Switch gear
Panel. In 33kV GIS Switchgear Panel, bus bar, VCB and Disconnector
will be inside SF6 Gas chamber. Others may be kept as per
manufacturers type tested design.
ii. 33kV outdoor substation (Package 1, Package -2, Package -3 and
Package- 4) 33 kV side will be with outdoor equipment and 11 kV side
will be with AIS Indoor switch gear panel with bus bar, breaker, CTs etc.
1.1.2. The substation sites with SBC up to and including 10 tonne per square metre
will have pile foundation for control room and compound wall. In other areas
there will columns by open cast method.
1.1.3 Normally the Switchyard will be 0.6 mtr above the road level and control
room 0.6 mtr above the Switchyard level except in the following
Substations in flood prone area where the control room will be 1.0 mtr
above the highest flood level. The drawings and BoQ for Substations in
flood prone are have been prepared considering the control room 2.0 mtr
above the road (ground) level. The contractor will redesign the buildings taking
into considearation the HFL of the area and revise the BoQ after approval of
redesigned buildings. Payments will be made as per the revised BoQ on
prorata basis.

fabricated metal construction.
The offered Indoor GIS shall have VCB, Three Position
Disconnecting Switch and Bus Bars shall be enclosed in
SF6 Gas.
Single panels, each built up from a modular range of separate
functional units, can be combined to produce the specified
switchgear configuration. The modular units comprise of:
A) Standard basic module:

Incorporating the vacuum circuit-breaker.

B) Floor-pan module, flange-mounted to the lower part of the basic
module, with:
A wide range of cable connection options, appliance
couplers for outer cone-type cable connection systems.
Current transformers (toroidal type)

Busbar Module - A gas filled, clad compartment, which
is totally segregatedfrom the circuit breaker
compartment with regardto gas handling. The busbar
module incorporates:
Three-position switch.
Three-phase copper busbar system
C) Cable / Instrument Transformer compartment.

A metal-enclosed, air/gas insulated compartment for easy
maintenance, with:
Cable support for single and multiple cable installation

Sufficient space for installation of current transformers
Circuit-breaker and three-position switch drives are to be

designed with mechanical interrogation interlocks and shall
include all necessary auxiliary devices (auxiliary switches,
releases etc.)
The three-position disconnector (ON-OFF-EARTH) is to be

designed with separate manual and/or motorized drives for
the disconnector and earth switch functions.
All switching device drives shall be located outside of the

gas compartments, for easy access. Under normal
operating conditions for indoor switchgear units in
accordance with IEC 50594 and when complying with the
specified number of operations, no maintenance is
required.
5.2 FUNCTIONAL COMPARTMENT:
Circuit-breaker compartment SF6Gas insulated

Busbar compartment SF6Gas insulated

Cable connection / transformer clad compartment are to
be equipped with individual pressure relief devices - Air
Insulated / SF6Gas insulatedcompartment for easy
access and maintenance.
5.3 SWITCHGEAR OPERATOR INTERFACES REQUIREMENTS:

A standard mechanical user interface, ergonomically
Positioned at a convenient height, must be visible
directly without opening of doors etc.
The user interface comprises all the mechanical, panel-
related interfaces and continuous interrogating
interlocks.
All the basic mechanical ON/OFF of CB,
disconnector& earth switch operation, manual
spring charge of CB must be possible without
opening the door to ensure the operator safety.
Mechanical mimic directly linked to mechanism
should be provided at the panel front door.

height for operation and arranged in a recessed position on
the switchgear front. Thus, the operating area is clearly
visible while no control elements protrude from the
switchgear front. The position of the individual elements

has been selected according to their function, i.e.
according to their allocation to the corresponding device
functions. The elements which form part of a switching
device, such as position indicators, crank ports or
mechanical push buttons, are visually linked by a specific
pattern and integrated in a mimic diagram. Mechanical
operation is performed the same way as with the habitual
operation with stationary switching devices.Separate
